About this file
This is a solicitation for a firm-fixed price contract to acquire laboratory test order and result data from Quest Diagnostics Inc. for hosting in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Data Hub. The CDC requires longitudinal patient-level data on tests related to reportable diseases and exposures such as STDs, hepatitis, lead, and opioids to assess public health trends and treatment effectiveness over time. Only Quest can provide services to link patient records across years for longitudinal analysis due to its largest market share and volume of US commercial laboratory testing. The period of performance is two years from award date. Interested parties may submit quotes by May 14, 2020 in response to the request for quotes posted on www.fedbizopps.gov. The CDC will conduct this acquisition using FAR Part 12 for commercial items in conjunction with FAR Part 13.

(End of Clause) CDC42.0002 Evaluation of Contractor Performance Utilizing CPARS (April 2013)
In accordance with FAR 42.15, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will review and evaluate contract performance. FAR 42.1502 and 42.1503 requires agencies to prepare evaluations of contractor performance and submit them to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The CDC utilizes the Department of Defense (DOD) web-based Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to prepare and report these contractor performance evaluations. All information contained in these assessments may be used by the Government, within the limitations of FAR 42.15, for future source selections in accordance with FAR 15.304 where past performance is an evaluation factor.
The CPARS system requires a contractor representative to be assigned so that the contractor has appropriate input into the performance evaluation process. The CPARS contractor representative will be given access to CPARS and will be given the opportunity to concur or not-concur with performance evaluations before the evaluations are complete. The CPARS contractor representative will also have the opportunity to add comments to performance evaluations.
The assessment is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract, nor is it subject to appeal beyond the review and comment procedures described in the guides on the CPARS website. Refer to: www.cpars.gov for details and additional information related to CPARS, CPARS user access, how contract performance assessments are conducted, and how Contractors participate. Access and training for all persons responsible for the preparation and review of performance assessments is also available at the CPARS website.
The contractor must provide the CDC contracting office with the name, e-mail address, and phone number of their designated CPARS representative who will be responsible for logging into CPARS and reviewing and commenting on performance evaluations. The contractor must maintain a current representative to serve as the contractor representative in CPARS. It is the contractor’s responsibility to notify the CDC contracting office, in writing (letter or email), when their CPARS representative information needs to be changed or updated. Failure to maintain current CPARS contractor representative information will result in the loss of an opportunity to review and comment on performance evaluations.
